Fresh Perspectives
Art Exhibits

The Osher Marin Jewish Community Center’s Taube Center for Jewish Peoplehood mounts a new art installation approximately four times a year. Visible throughout our center, the exhibit is curated to reflect on themes expressed in a variety of media and usually by Jewish artists.

Check out our current and past installations here.

Community Outreach
Tikkun Marin

Tikkun Marin is the Osher Marin JCC’s initiative to improve and repair our Marin community. Its name is taken from Tikkun Olam, the Jewish concept that we bear responsibility not only for ourselves but for the moral, spiritual, and material welfare of everyone.

What We Celebrate and Observe
Jewish Holidays

Jewish holidays and festivals are observed in Judaism throughout the Hebrew calendar. Jewish holidays occur on the same dates every year in the Hebrew calendar. Osher Marin JCC celebrates these special days with programs that engage families.

Culture

Our Rescued Torah

The Osher Marin JCC is proud to partner with the Memorial Scrolls Trust in London to prominently display Torah MST#732 rescued from the Czech Jewish community of Hostomice, a small town in Bohemia about 20 miles from Prague.

In 1942, Prague was under Nazi occupation and a group of Jewish workers at the Jewish Museum risked their lives to rescue their community’s sacred scrolls and other ritual objects. As hopes faded for rescuing fellow Jews and themselves, they chose to preserve, for future generations, their holy heritage.

By sharing this Torah, we are honoring the Jews of Hostomice who perished in the Shoah, ensuring that their lives continue to have meaning and that their culture and tradition are preserved.
